title: How do I choose a transition that fits the cut in invideo Editor?
description: Pick a transition for the reason of the cut, then judge it against the rhythm of your edit.

Start with the reason for the transition: connecting two moments, signaling a change or adding emphasis. invideo Editor has a library of transitions, and your agent adds one to a cut with `add_transition`. Preview a candidate with the outgoing shot, incoming shot and audio together.

A fast treatment can overwhelm a quiet scene, while a long transition can slow down an otherwise tight sequence. Keep recurring transitions consistent when they serve the same purpose. If you brief the agent, identify the two shots and the feeling you want at their join, then review the result on the timeline.
